GLADIE
Gladie is serene, but only for a moment. Their sound often begins as a swirling dream, like paper dancing in the wind, with Augusta Koch’s voice filtering in calm, measured, and carrying words that crack at the surface of the heart. And then comes the snap: incandescent rhythms arriving like wolves at the gate, guitars and drums forming a whirling storm, widening that initial crack until it becomes an ocean.
Each moment in their music feels like a memory carried on the nerves of the body, unshakable melodies that move like blood through the veins. What has long been the core of Gladie’s power is Koch’s indelible strength as a songwriter—a craft honed over time, creating melodies and lyrics that burrow in and stay, becoming part of the listener’s own internal landscape.
KULFIGIRLS
KulfiGirls are a Philly based band whose style is a cross-cultural tapestry marked by prominent use of the Saraswati veena. Front woman and veena player, Abi and Joan, the guitarist, fuse melancholic harmonies and aggressive distortions of various Western influences with Abi’s Carnatic roots. Underpinned by Adesola’s relentlessly in-your-face rhythms and the wide-spanning multi-talent Stephanie, the Kulfi Girls are one of Philadelphia’s most dynamic, evocative, and diverse new groups on the music scene. Their debut album “Divinity” combines classic rock elements with an experimental ensemble of instruments.
FLATWAVES
Flatwaves is a Philadelphia-based band that blends hazy textures of 90s shoegaze with the raw energy of rock ‘n’ roll and the psychedelic swirl of fuzzed-out garage rock.
SLEEP TACTICS
Here to smack the taste from the mouth of the planned obsolescence model, Sleep Tactics is a Philadelphia-based math rock/post-hardcore project led by guitarist/vocalist Dan Smith. Debuting in 2019 with a record that earned them a top 10 spot on Fecking Bahamas’ ‘Math Rock Albums of the Year’, they have made their return with a four-piece lineup, as well as their most ambitious material to date.
